    Pressing into the Kingdom

    While a Buddhist may try to get along with whatever human means are at hand...not so the Christian disciple. He realizes that he is poor and needy...since the limitations of the flesh have come to the fore...realizing that the flesh cannot present itself to God, or be pleasing to Him. Instead...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You are trying to shut the barn door when the horse has already departed. I think your rosy picture is off the mark by a large margin. The corruption of Babylon has been in the church for well over a thousand years...to the point where there is a normalcy in the captivity of the flesh...so that...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    As long as seeing through a glass darkly is not a premise for thinking that a half-truth is better than no truth at all.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Babylon is the power that holds many believers captive...to this very day. It is man-organized religion...purporting to be serving God by their efforts and schemes. These projections of Babylon have human given names...they are making a name for themselves. They are looking for legitimacy...from...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    I think it is easy to miss the paradoxes of spiritual life...eternal life. The kingdom of God is within you??? Within the Pharisees? Or...the kingdom of God is experienced from within. When a person is translated into the kingdom realm...their body remains on earth...although the walk is in...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    Amen...exactly. Where is the kingdom of God that we are to seek first? I think many believers try to avoid the ramifications of that very command of Jesus. I think many are not interested in something that has that level of commitment and cost. They would rather opt for a salvation scheme that...

    What is the Kingdom of God?

    We live in a time whereby a new birth is seen as the extent to which a person can aspire to the degree that it is not seen as reasonable that there is any possible development beyond that. There is a present war against any form of maturity, wisdom, understanding or knowledge. And people will...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    You deny the Holy Spirit and the authority of God to try pushing a human agenda based on a misreading...or a non-reading ...of the bible. A common scheme to deny the faith. (You can google that) People need to avoid the unbelief that you espouse. The Headship of Christ is testified to in the...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Why do you post such nonsense? “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.” Jer. 6:16 Is this about tea? Are you not being described...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Again, more projecting unto me what you are doing yourself. Working out your own salvation is not...working out "for yourself" your own salvation. You have left off the need of faith. You have left off the need to seek God's face for the full measure of grace. You have left off selling all to...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    I appreciate that... :) That's some compliment...to think I came up with a divine plan to include both the holy and the righteous into a new age of peace and joy in the Lord. I must have come up with the two testaments...the two main laws...the lower of which is called the "royal law". But...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    Thank you for your honesty. It's a rare thing these days. People would rather hide their unbelief behind religiousities and speculative ideologies that deflect their need for an actual faith in God. Of course faith is hard...We've seen too much of this world and not enough of the next...

    Are there prophets today?

    There's that spirit of fear again.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    That's because the paths are eternal. Olam. Netivot olam "eternal paths". God has always been holy. And He has always been righteous. We, for the most part have been neither of these. That's why we need to discover God and His ways.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    A yes...the spirit of fear. Why be afraid of people? We are to fear the Lord and only Him. Afraid of false teachers lurking behind every rock....around every corner. Afraid to trust God, afraid of being afraid. Selling the gospel for no price. Freely I received and I freely give.

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    It's me! That's my name. During Covid I was constrained to write a book...which I never thought I would do...since, how do you know when there is enough on any given point. But the Lord directed me and helped me to get through the endeavour. (I think I burned out twice from the effort ;)) But...

    Pressing into the Kingdom

    "To behold the beauty of the Lord" We are to seek the Lord for His presence and strength...because we have learned to love His ways and the depth of His love around us. "One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    How do we know we are in a carnal vanity loop in our minds? How do we know the bible is speaking about us when it rebukes the vanity we settle for? By what is absent... Humility, the fear of the Lord, a repentant heart. As long as we think we can benefit from God's goodness, we are bound to...

    What is Mystery Babylon?

    Hey Nancy. Yes, The truth can sound strange to our ears now. The Old Paths seem to be novel once again. Blessings sister. :)
